Overview
Travel to the heart of Uruguay's European heritage and discover a fascinating cultural mosaic. This 5-hour tour is dedicated to exploring the history, folklore and rich winemaking traditions of the communities descended from Swiss, Italian, French, German and Austrian immigrants who forged the unique identity of the department of Colonia.
What you will experience:
- Route of the Colonies: visit the emblematic towns of Colonia Suiza (Nueva Helvecia), Colonia Valdense and La Paz (Colonia Piamontesa), where the architecture and customs will transport you to the old continent.
- Legacy and Identity: Learn about the integration of the Latin and Germanic Celtic populations in Latin America, and how their Piedmontese and French culture is still alive in every corner of the local historical heritage.
- Traditions and Flavors: Discover the secrets of regional winemaking and the folklore that defines this population, the fruit of centuries of shared history between Europe and Uruguay. A deep dive into the living history of Uruguay that you cannot miss.
